Faster MIDI Function Selection

Problem

When assigning a function to a control in the MIDI editor, the user must scroll through a very long, single list of all possible actions (especially for deck fuctions). This is inefficient and time-consuming.

Solution

Restructure the function selection menu into a hierarchical or cascading system. Since the functions are already grouped (e.g., Beat Jump, Auto Loop), the user could first select a category, which would then reveal a shorter, more manageable list of specific functions within that category.

Benefit

This would make the MIDI mapping process significantly faster and more user-friendly.

Thanks for the suggestion @JurGroove Good idea. I have forwarded this to the dev team for consideration.

Hello again! Hopefully I’m not getting annoying..

How about a cute little search window to find that pesky midi function that I can never find because I’m up at 1am mapping controllers…

Love ya!

Hi @Ralfi711,

You’re absolutely right. You can add heading sections yourself, but even then, the MIDI mapping can quickly become messy and cumbersome.
With all the different midi functions en the multiple combination functions and so on, it has already turned into an unmanageable jumble.
I experienced that myself some time ago and submitted this feature request back then:

Hi @Ralfi711, I’ve merged your new topic with this existing one.

Add search input box by functions. It will be useful for me :slight_smile:

Would like to see an easier / faster way to build custom midi maps. Search filter perhaps? - or at least put the neural features at the top of the list not all the way at tthe bottom lol. Seeing as these would be the most wanted custom implementations for most people.
I’ve worn out my scroll button on my mouse lol.
Is there a way to edit the midi maps via spreadsheet?

Hi @AgentOllie, thanks for the suggestion. I have merged it with this existing one as they are closely related. Please vote above. Thanks!

I’ll add to that.

Yesterday I wanted to assign 6 buttons to toggle the FX on and off.

Each required like 2-3 minutes of continuous scrolling. I dread doing it again.

And there were things even below.

Alternatively you could make the scroll bar/progress bar on the right clickable, so we could drag it down quickly.

Or search tab as suggested.

It is vital.

so any feature that improve midi mapping for DJay would be most welcome!
